Nice, now extrude hone one of those suckers and see what happens. Looks heavy, is it?

Surprisingly not as heavy as it looks. Even with the Cooled configuration (VF620 or VF650 and soon to be VF595), the manifold only weighs 37 lbs. slightly less for the VF540 non-cooled.

Does your velocity stacks create a higher velocity than the trumpets used by M?

Our manifold was designed for Forced Induction purposes only. The length and width of the trumpets in the factory ///M airboxes all delve into the torque and throttle response + more. Our High Flow Radius ports, Tapered runner design, and rounded edges help to create constant/smooth airflow.

Thanks! We're very pleased with the our Hex Flash software. It allows for precise throttle feel and smooth power delivery (part and full-throttle) and delivers the performance you'd expect + more from all of our stages, 4.0-8.0psi. From healthy cars, owners have documented even higher performance output. At the end of the day like I've been saying to a few interested customers, words and graphs can only go so far. There's nothing like actually getting behind the wheel of one of our cars. If you know anyone with one of our superchargers installed or would like to come down and drive our long-term test car, you're welcome to stop by anytime.

Our '08 E90 long-term test car was purchased with high-mileage and has since logged +35k miles with the supercharger installed. I've taken it to a few of our local events and it is here for anyone who would like to get behind the wheel.

Thanks! The exterior design was inspired to closely match the look of the OEM airbox. Some favor it and some don't so we began offering custom manifolds direct from VF. In the past, customers were having to request a bare manifold and then have to pay for it to be shipped separately and then have it shipped back for final assembly after they've had it painted. Now, you can send us your custom design and we have it painted and assembled before you receive your kit.

Would you give some more info on the 595 kit and how it differs from the 620? Is it simply 540 kit cooled?
